I use Tailscale as my VPN, and it’s always just worked for me. But lately, it keeps hopping out. This is only an issue on my Android phone too. I have set Tailscale to be the ‘always-on-vpn’ in settings, but that doesn’t change anything for me.
Anyone experience the same thing? Is there a know fix for this?
From the interface you should have android 12+, check if the app has the permission to run in the background, if that doesnt work it could be android’s phantom process killing that stops it
Yes, I am on Android 13. I believe I have given it all permissions too. Is there anything about the phantom thingy I can do to prevent it from doing this?
Is battery optimisation turned on for the app? For me with some apps if it is on it will run in the background but i guess pause it until I actually open the app again.
Check battery optimization settings
Done that too, also set as unrestricted
If i remember correctly on android 13 you can go in developer settings-> feature flags and you should be able to disable it Otherwise you need to use adb to disable it, but i don’t remember the entire process
Thanks - ill look into this! :)
